24 hour lights
Folks, I see lots of peoples using 24 hour veg times. All in good in some situations for a short period of time, but the plant needs some total darkness every day to work on root development.
You will slow root proliferation by using 24 hour lighting, increase your electrical costs, increase the 'wear and tear' on the lighting system and needs rest daily too......
I think you will find that most of the experienced growers have learned there is no additional benefit from 24 hour lighting over 18/6. Save some money, go 18/6 whenever possible.
Yes there are times to go 24, I find I don't ever need them.WashougalWonder Reviewed by WashougalWonder on . 24 hour lights Folks, I see lots of peoples using 24 hour veg times.
